"Sister Chunya, Tiehu, the weather will be good in the next few days. Let's set off now, and we have plenty of time."
I said.
"good."
Baitihu and Chunya responded at the same time.
We took action immediately and packed all the dry food and various items we would need on the road in bamboo baskets.
This time, in addition to the Second Poison Gu and the Evil God Gu, I also brought the Golden Silkworm Gu.
This trip is bound to be dangerous and requires thorough preparation.
"Grandma, mother, please protect me and kill Meng Xilou, along with his scorpion."
Before I set off, I burned a stick of incense.
I went to find Long Youshui again and asked him to help me look after my house.
"Cousin, if I die outside, my body will be sent into the cave to be eaten by all kinds of insects."
"At that time, I will ask Master Camellia to come back with the Golden Silkworm Gu. The secret technique of Golden Silkworm will not be lost. There is no Gu in the village during this period. Please take care of it. The house left by my grandmother will be dealt with by you.
.”
I said.
With tears in his eyes, Long Youshui said: "Dongsheng, no matter what happens, my home will be kept for you. You must come back safely."
Torches light up the night journey.
Me, Chun Ya, Bai Tiehu, Shui Shi and Maying, the group left Camellia Cave.
I released the four great Gu kings.
King Jin said: "Dou Chong Slope is in the hinterland of Thirteen Cave. It is in the area between Poison Mountain and Five Sacred Mountains. Pass Wulong Mountain, and then take Pingshan Mountain. This road is the closest. The place where the five Gu Kings were originally selected.
, right on Douchong Slope. We are very familiar with that place."
"Then please lead the way."
I said.
"I have been free for many days, and I have been looking for Mengxi Tower all the time. We should do our best during this trip."
King Jin said.
He was expressing his determination to me.
Everyone is not a child.
The unpleasantness of the fight with the three-attribute residual scorpion, both of them had a tacit understanding and chose to forget it.
"Once Meng Xilou is killed and the scorpion of this life is eliminated, the fate between us will end. What are your plans, four of you?"
I asked.
King Jin said: "We don't know where we are going. Maybe we will be reincarnated as humans through the Chi You Temple, which will be our final destination. We still have to follow Doctor Dong."
I laughed and said: "Of course, if I die in Meng Xilou's hands, you can leave with the mysterious god Gu on your own. As long as you don't do evil, you can go anywhere."
"If you fail, we won't have a good ending either."
King Jin sighed.
We had plenty of time and we were not in a hurry.
I can't help but think, maybe this time, my mother will still protect me secretly. She may be around me.
The mountains in autumn already have a bit of a sense of defeat.
After passing Wulong Mountain, there are Pingshan Mountain and Dushan Mountain located in the north and south.
Last time, Gu Xia, Long Youshui, I walked this road.
When I was walking through Pingshan Mountain, I encountered poisonous miasma.
This time, after arriving at the bottom of Pingshan Mountain, we no longer walked north, but headed west, passing through the periphery of Pingshan Mountain and reaching Douchongpo.
Viewed from a distance, Pingshan looks like a bottle, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, hence the name "Pingshan".
The mountain road is rugged and extremely difficult to walk.
After walking a short distance, I saw animal bones and some human bones. They must have entered here by mistake and were corroded into white bones by the poisonous miasma.
Fortunately, poisonous miasma mostly occurs during the humid spring and summer rainy seasons.
Now that we are entering late autumn, the possibility of peach blossom miasma is unlikely.
"Pingshan is surrounded by poisonous mist. Monster corpses often appear on it. In terms of horror, Pingshan is one level stronger than Poison Mountain. Bai Tuo once said that the most vicious zombies in Thirteen Cave in western Hunan are in Pingshan."
Chunya said.
Bai Tiehu asked: "Why do you say that?"
Chun Ya said: "There are many large tombs in Pingshan, and Taoist priests have lived in seclusion here throughout the dynasties to refine elixirs. Those Taoist priests who died, as well as the living people buried with them in the tombs, eventually turned into vicious zombies. The legacy of alchemy
The erysipelas poisoned by the poison has made the scorpions here become extremely terrifying and weird."
"The scary scorpion will bite those zombies and it will make the zombies even more ferocious."
"Bai Tuo also said that poisonous scorpions can come out of zombies' mouths and noses."
I took a breath of air.
The earliest rumors about the Zombie King were the Zombie King in the Pingshan Tomb.
Bai Jiahe also said that he would go to Dushan and Pingshan areas to rob and dig big tombs.
After I went to Poison Mountain, I learned that many of the rumors were just rumors.
Especially after taking away the strange god Gu, Poison Mountain is no different from an ordinary mountain.
Now it seems that Pingshan is really scary.
"There are many scorpions in Pingshan. This is the first time I heard about it. I thought it was more in Qingyadong. Are the scorpions poisoned by erysipelas scary?"
Bai Tiehu asked.
"How scary. The flying six-winged centipede in Poisonous Insect Valley is affected by erysipelas."
"I hope we won't encounter such a big scorpion. If a big scorpion really comes flying, it will be fatal."
Chunya said.
"Master, I found a large number of dead scorpions in the grass in front of me."
The Snake Great Immortal who was exploring the way ahead turned back.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble.
We hurriedly walked forward and found ourselves in a patch of withered grass.
There are nearly a hundred black scorpions nearly thirty centimeters long scattered around.
I picked one up and looked at it, and I was secretly shocked. I exclaimed: "It's poisoned! And it looks like it was poisoned by centipede."
These scorpions are fat and extremely poisonous. Who can kill them with centipede venom?
It's really incredible.
"Dongsheng, does this black scorpion have erysipelas?"
Bai Tiehu asked nervously.
"This is just at the foot of the mountain, not close to the hinterland, so there will be no erysipelas. It's just three times more toxic than ordinary scorpions."
I responded.
"What a cunning demon!"
King Jin suddenly spoke.
"What's the meaning?"
I asked quickly.
"I suddenly had an idea. The demon Taoist Meng Xilou himself might have been hiding in Pingshan Mountain. From Pingshan Mountain, you can overlook Dushan Mountain in the distance, and you can reach Douchong Slope in a few steps."
"Besides, this place is right on the edge of the Poison Mountain. Who would have thought that the demon would dare to hide here. It's dark under this lamp."
King Jin said.
I was startled.
Generally speaking, if Meng Xilou caused the Gu disaster in Yunzhong Village and caused the village to be wiped out, he would stay away from here and would never stay near Poison Mountain.
However, Meng Xilou is not an ordinary person.
It's really possible, it's in the Bottle Mountain.
There are many Taoists here making elixirs and cultivating gu.
Of course he can also choose here.
Moreover, when Heisha learned that the three-attribute residual scorpion fell into my hands, someone sent a message to Meng Xilou.
Starting from Pingshan, he can go directly to Douchongpo, saving time and effort.
Perhaps the reason why we chose Douchongpo to do this was not because this place has historical significance.
Rather, it is relatively close to Pingshan.
"Besides, there are a lot of scorpions here. It just provides him with good materials for refining his natal scorpion."
Fire King added.
I threw the dead scorpion on the ground, looked up at the mountain, and said, "Then go to Pingshan Mountain to take a look. Anyway, there are still five days until Double Ninth Festival."
If we can advance, we can meet Meng Xilou in Pingshan and kill him in one go.
It would be great.
The mountain road is extremely narrow, with an uphill slope of nearly 70 degrees in some places.
Fortunately, after autumn, the thatch is no longer so cut.
In order to guard against someone plotting against us on the mountain, we asked Snake Immortal and Bai Pizi to explore the way ahead.
"Help."
A faint voice came from the front.
It took more than ten minutes to climb the mountain road.
I saw a man lying on his back on the ground, unable to move.
When he shined a light with a torch, he turned out to be Shen Lian, a black wind Taoist from the Centipede Path.
